Our thanks to J for pointing us to this tragic story. Some teenagers and young men urged a distressed man to jump off a tall building. He jumped. He was killed.
J asks the rhetorical question:
Mike, would they have been so cruel if it had been a woman in such distress?
Feminists claim that some women absorb the misogyny which is common in society, and this leads them to become (for example) men’s rights advocates. As with all feminist claims, it’s utter nonsense. The truth is that men and boys absorb the misandry which is common in society.
To think this man’s last moments on this earth were filmed for posterity, by people urging him to kill himself, makes my blood run cold. What has become of this country, when the potential suicide of a distressed man is considered entertainment by teenagers and grown men? Our moral compass is well and truly broken.
My own son Dylan Yount died in a suicide baiting in Hallidie Plaza, San Francisco, on 2-16-10 while 24 San Francisco police officers stood by and did nothing. We have turned our grief into a page to raise awareness about Suicide Baiting and lobby for better police training in their interactions with the suicidal at Suicide Baiting Prevention.
